Yes launch your car at 6500. It pulls like no other.


I reject your reality and substitute my own.

LMAO...i am pretty sure he was not referring to the launch when he said 6500.

for a stock SVT i would rev to about 3k or so, and not "launch" it...but rather do a lil clutch slipping with NO wheel hop if possible!

Stock differentials are weak and wheel hop is bad. Launch carefully!

Those are of course shift points. It would be silly to think otherwise now wouldn't it.

The launch point is basically off idle (2-3k rpm) A quick slip and go. The diff won't handle much abuse!
